They haven't had any more troubles than anyone else really. Like Superior..they had some soft cylinders get by. (But they warranted them at least...after a bit of arguing with customers like Superior did.)
ECI has had several issues as well with cracks and soft barrels...but like the competition, claims to be working on solutions.
I wouldn't be afraid of genuine TCM cylinders. I've seen 'em priced everywhere from $750 to $975 depending on how many, where, etc.
